The principal event at the theaters
next week will be the engagement of
the Comic Opera company at the Grand,
presenting "The Gypsy Baron" 1.-The
GYPSY Baron'' is the latest and most
successful work of Strauss. Since its
first production in Vienna over two
years ago (NOv., 1885, it has run beyond
1000 nights in Germany and opera. The
American production of ''The Gypsy
Baron" took place on Feb. Is, of the
same year. at the Casino
sonal direction of Heinrich Con-
ried. A month later the German version
was given at the Thalia theater,
where it ran over $50 nights with
great favor, and was only taken off Ow-
ing to pre-eXisting contracts. The Ii
brettO is from novel by JOhan, and
deals with Gypsy life in the last century.
"rhe Gypsy Baron" is one grand mel
Ody, and from first to last exercises an
indescribable charm on the listeners.
The airs were evidently not composed
for their simple beauty alone, for all
through the work the weird, melOdious
strains of the Magyar muse are recOg
nized. 1.-The Gypsy BarOn'' was pre-
scented at the Grand last year and made
a decided hit. The advance sale opens
to-day.
Judging from the large crowds that
nightly fill the Peoples theater this
week-it is safe to say ''Uncle Toms
Cabin is not dead yet. On Sunday,
Monday afternoon and evening and
Tuesday afternoon the Peoples played
to the four largest consecutive houses
ever played to in Minneapolis at popu-
lar prices. "Uncle Toms Cabin" runs
the balance of the week with Saturday
matinee. Next week the management
announces the first presentation in
many years of D'Ennery and Commons

titled 1.-The Two Orphans" The piece
will be put on in most elaborate man.

How Locke's Bills Were Paid.

Manager Conklin, of the Grand, is a
man who can say no as easily as yes.
He said no to d. f. Locke. but is not
anxious to repeat his experience with
the National Opera company; in fact,
if ID. E. should return his reception
would be warm enough to be called a
roast.
1T was only by lucky chance that

marked COnklin. Locke would never
have paid them. When he assigned to

the contract. l said: We'll. Mr..
Bailey, l guess we will have no per-

great fret and said the concern would
never get out of town unless they played

that this was an effort to beSmirch the

with felony not associated with this

It'd of leaving HOag's about $50 in the
morning, and did not return until he
went to supper. Mr.. Erwin asked no
question. Mr.. Davis called out. as the
witness departed: ''Were you ever
known as the Young Cyclone Detective
of the Northwest?'" The court shook
its head and Mr.. Erwin frowned, but be-
fore an objection could be interpOSed,
Riel had sung out: mo, STRIP The
court promptly had the matter stricken
from the records, as not pertinent.
NO" said Davis, ''but if he had an
swered in the affirmative, it would have
brought out something that would have
been pertinent"
Charles A Hoag, the farmer near the
Falls. cOrrobOrated the testimony that
Rel was at his house on July % and to-
W I'd evening went away, taking
sOutherly direction. Upon cross eXami-
nation he said he kept diary, but he
made several contradictory statements
about Rel coming to town. He had al
ready said Reil went away on July 25
and now he said he was positive Rel
did not go to town on that day. He got
considerably mixed up and Mr.. Erwin
scored him numerically for making
statements he knew were not true, when
a mans life was at stake" The witness
said two detectives had called on him
the night before, one of them being
Howard. 1t was finally developed that
he had arrived at dates in very round
about way, by discussing the matter
with his mOther-in-faw, and really did
not know where Rel was on July %.
The state then introduced Edward viii,
who worked for Hoag, and he swOre he
saw Rel there at II O'Clock on July 25
and saw him again there at supper time.
The cross examination was long and
tedious but the only point brought out
was that it was OH July 25 he settled
with HOag and had told HOag, this same
morning, that that was the day. The
cross examination continued an hour,
without further result, the attorneys
agreeing VIII was well named.

FIELD DAY FOR THE CARS.
Some of the PerpleXities of Life
on the Dash Board.

Yesterday was a field day for the
street car company, and it was only
through good luck that two or three cars
were not rendered useless. Early in the
afternoon a Monroe car caught fire from
an Overheated stove while Oh the sus-
pension bridge, and for a short time
there was considerable excitement. The
passengers all left i'm hurry as soon as
the ear was filled with smoke. The
flames were extinguished by the driver
and patrolman. No one was hurt and
the damage to the car was slight.
About $50, the horses attached to a
University car, broke away while cross
ing Ninth street, on Hennepin avenue,
and went tearing down the avenue, the
reins and whiffietreeS dangling behind
them. At Third street the animals ran
directly into Lake street ear, but in
turing no one. One of the runaway
horses was knocked down and severely
injured. The other was captured after
a long chase.
A delivery wagon was backed into
the horses drawing a University car on
Bridge square. and for short time the
air was full of delivery wagons, street
car horses and grocery clerks. The
matter was finally adjusted with no
damage to any one.

TROUBLE AHEAD.
No Union Depot Until 1t Is All
Settled.

1t begins to look now as though the
plan of building new union depot in
Minneapolis would fall through, owing
to certain matters which are under dis
cussion by the commission and the man
ayers of the various roads interested.
The plans are now at stand still, and
in all probability will remain so until
several important matters are
settled. For one thing there
is serious hitch in the
matter of the crossing of the Manitoba
tracks at Second street north by the st.
Louis road. The committee appointed
to decide upon the damage to the Man.
itoba road have held several meetings
of late. and many Of the witnesses
sworn have declared that it would dam
age the Manitoba road S6.000,000. The
st. Louis people say that if that amount
is awarded it will kill the scheme at
once. as the St. Louis road will not pay
il, and besides, this is the only chance
of the $500; and the Minneapolis Il Pa
cific to get into the city at all. The st.
Louis people do not. however, think any
such award will be made. If the st.
Louis road succeeds in getting the
crossing the Manitoba road will prob
ably make fight over whether they
can allow the two other roads named TO
use the tracks. This question will
probably go into the courts. Another
question now pending is the question of
damages for the strip of two feet owned
by the Union Railway company, upon
which their retaining wall is built and
which extends down into the property
desired for the new terminal. This
was condemned and damages as
sessed, but the Union Railway COM
pany, which is prac ically the Mani
toba road, and of which Mr.. Hill is
president, have carried it to the supreme
court on two contests, one against the
original order for the appointment of
the commission which assessed the dam
ages, and one against the award of this
commission. These cases have been
argued and submitted and a decision is
now awaited Thus far the commits
sioners OH the Second street crossing
have heard only Manitoba witnesses.

effect that grain consigned to that point
is subject to regular and systematic
thieving, and that large quantities in
the aggregate are thus taken from cars
while on track and waiting to be UNI
loaded. The loss has come to be seri-
Gus one to the shipper, and the com
mission has been appealed to for relief.
1t is believed that this property
of the citizens of this state sent
to Minneapolis for disposition is
entitled to some protection from
the police authorities of that city.
The commission is of the opinion that
if the side tracks containing loaded cars
are properly patrolIed and unauthorized
persons thus kept away from their vicin-
ity the thieving would be effectually
stopped. Therefore,
Resolved by the commission that the
state weighmaster at Minneapolis be
directed to lay this subject before the
police commission of Minneapolis, and
that he be authorized to communicate
TO that body the views of this commits
sion as herein expressed.
